There will be more than 50 booths showcasing treasures of every variety. High Country Fire Department Auxiliary gathers pre-owned treasures to stock 20 of the booths to help fund their activities, principally feeding firefighters during fires throughout the year. Local residents use the remaining booths to sell there goods. Food will be furnished by the Lady Elks and by Manley’s BBQ. There is ample free parking onsite.
